On how we can reconnect in a time when connection feels harder than ever. 

This conversation was grounding and hilarious all at the same time, and I am so excited that y'all get to hear it. 

Jody's new book, Feeling Seen, is available whereever you buy your books, and her Book Tour still has a few tickets available (you can join me, and her!, at the HALIFAX show Feb 1)

The worst symptom of burnout is the guilt for feel The worst symptom of burnout is the guilt for feeling like you haven't done enough to deserve to be burned out. 

It's Monday. This was a theme in my office today.

You can become burnt out for many different reasons. Some are from doing big things, some are from doing many small things. So many small things. That pile up, and up, and up, until you don't even know where to start. 

Start by recognizing the guilt, and directing it towards it needs to go (aka not at beating yourself up). Then honour your emotions, give yourself grace, and meet yourself where you're at. 

One. Day. At. A. Time.

Things I know to be true when it comes to raising Things I know to be true when it comes to raising tiny humans.

1. Listening intently is a honed skill that is practiced (aka tested) every single day. 

2. We're all learning this together.

3. What was true yesterday, last week or last month may not be true now. That's what's supposed to happen when growth occurs.

4. There is a constant need for increasing the grocery budget (parents of teens, how do you do this??) 

5. Whoopee Cushions are still a thing.

6. Noone has all the answers, but @drbeckyatgoodinside is a lifesaver. 

Thankful. Grateful.

I've had this conversation a LOT this week. Ther I've had this conversation a LOT this week. 

There are different types of rest. 

You do not need to nap, or sit on the couch, or zone out to rest. There are SO many more options than just that. 

And it's important that we practice different types, so that we understand those that build us up, those that are easy to implement, and those that are more difficult. 

How do you support your rest?

Today's episode was a request from a listener (you can submit your own request by emailing inspire@ashleymargeson.com!). Angela was asking for an episode focused on shift work, burnout and your hormones. 

Well, Angela- this is a massive conversation, so I'm breaking it up into 3 episodes. TODAYS episode is focused on understanding how to create an environment that supports Burnout Prevention. 

We know that Emotional Exhaustion (1 of 3 key signs of burnout) is heavily influenced by working night shifts in both helping professions and other shift workers. But what we've learned from the data is that Depersonalization and a Lack of Personal Accomplishment (the kther 2 key signs of burnout) are not directly influenced by night shifts. Therefore, putting a focus on support techniques for these two areas can reduce your burnout potential. 

Today, I'm breaking down key supports that both the system, and the individual, can look at and implement to reduce burnout if you're working shift work. Coming up next, how shift work influences your hormones 😍

Happy listening, Superwomen!

Low capacity days are days that you don't have as Low capacity days are days that you don't have as much energy. And very little capacity to deal with bullsh*t. These pop up every now and then. Sometimes in a pattern (hello PMS or chronic pain), sometimes because your youngest decides to have a bad dream at 4.37am. 

So, I had a low capacity day because that bad dream came at the perfect time for me to a) have trouble falling back to sleep and b) not be able to get quite enough of a full sleep cycle before I got up for the day. 

Just a perfect storm.

So we dealt. 

Because I still have patients to see, people to care for and myself to look out for. I can't just call it and spend the day in bed 😅

So, here's three things I did. 

1. Limited my caffeine to only 1 coffee in the morning. Days like this make you want to have another cuppa in the afternoon, but the last thing we need is to be kept up later. I need a good night sleep to reset my circadian rhythym, so it's a push through the afternoon to get a good sleep tonight day for me. 

2. Stopped screens 2 hours before bed. Literally. Doesn't matter how many things I have on that to-do list, the screens go off two hours before bed to ensure I don't negatively impact my melatonin production. 

3. Drank an electrolyte this afternoon - your adrenal glands stabilize your mineralocorticoids and your glucocorticoids. This is part of the way your body balances it's salt and sugar (simplifying a complicated convo atm). Just like a physical athlete replenishes due to sweat, mental athletes also need to stabilize that response. I want my body to absorb the fluid I'm putting in, so that means an electrolyte to help, which means I'll feel much better tomorrow. Favourites of mine include @designsforhealth.canada , @drinklmnt and @vegaplantnutrition ❤️

Plus. You know. Went to bed. Aka right now. 

Here's to a higher capacity day tomorrow!
